7 Times Hollywood Whitewashed (And Straightwashed) Comic Book Characters

2. Fox: Whitewashed

Granted, 2008's Wanted wasn't all that great to begin with, but still, a whitewash is a whitewash, and the film featured one in a key role.

In the original Mark Millar and J. G. Jones comic, Fox - portrayed by Angelina Jolie on film - was modelled on Halle Berry. And while Jolie certainly worked the part well, that doesn't detract from the fact that the character was party to a particularly toxic Hollywood trend - one creator Mark Millar didn't seem to mind at all, seeing as how he had an influence in the casting process itself.

Halle Berry will, however, be making an appearance (for real) in the upcoming Kingsman: The Secret Circle - another Millar project - and will mark the star's first return to comic book-dom since 2014's X-Men: Days of Future Past.
